Not being familiar with the Great White North, how many days have to go by before "cabin fever" breaks out? Or you can put duck tape on and snowshoe your way around Madison carrying signs that protest endangered Polar Bears.

Of course you two crazy newlyweds are going to go out cross-country skiing, instead of taking advantage of this chance to ditch finals so you can stay home and keep each other warm.

S-u-u-re you are.

That's what happened when The Blonde and I got stuck in Elkhart IN for 3 days during the blizzard of '99. We spent all our time outside partaking of the winter sports instead of trying to raise the temperature of the room inside.

I am glad Chancellor "Biddy" made the decision early. It shows decisiveness. She put safety before the administrative headaches the cancellation will produce. Will it be a holiday, a vacation day, or a furlough day?

Speaking of safety: soon Bascom Hill will be filled with happy students riding cafeteria trays.

I'd call you folks wimps but back when I lived in Maryland the local school district closed the schools based on the threat of a snowfall that never even materialized. The kids had a snow day when it never snowed a single flake.

Michael...Don't you understand that this is only weather. Global Warming is not about hot weather and cold weather. It is about impure Fossil Carbon usage by extra people that is hateful, unless a Danegeld is paid.

Down here is SWVA there are a lot of snow pussies. One good reason for this is that almost all snow removal is "solar powered." (I got yer green jobs right here.) Others include lots of hills and the fact that most precip is "wintery mix." Last night we stayed just above freezing and got rain - so I'm typing this instead of having snowday fun with my preschool teacher wife.
